As indicated between brackets in the Table above, field missions were carried out in three out
of the six selected countries for in-depth analysis (one per each of the 3 official regional grouping
of OIC Member Countries: African, Arab, and Asian).
The preparation of the country field visits was based on the following steps:
 An in-depth desk review and analysis of the risk management practices in PPP transport
projects, as well as a tailored data search focusing on each case study country. This was
then used for discussion and verification during the field visits;
 An agenda has been set for each country visit with pre-arranged meetings with key
stakeholders in each of the three selected countries. This step has been supported by the
countries’ focal contact points;
 Preparation of a structured questionnaire to be shared with interviewees prior to the
meeting.
In procedural terms, the steps for the elaboration of the case studies excluding field visits is the
same of the ones for which a visit is performed, specified that interviews with the relevant
contacts have been organized remotely when possible.
